The Sixties was a period of change and social unrest. People were no longer content in the neo-materalistic society, and they took to the streets in vast numbers to protest. Among other things, they protested against US involvement in the Vietnam War, but also against racial discrimination in the homeland. The hippie movement grew strong and the music industry reflected all of this. It all culminated in the legendary four day long music festival at Woodstock in August 1969.
